Abstract
We report an uncommon clinical presentation of a placental site trophoblastic tumor. The patient presented initially with abdominal pain with, fever, bleeding and pelvic mass on ultrasonography leading to the wrong diagnosis of a pelvic abscess. Dilation and curettage were performed and pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of placental site trophoblastic tumor. Therefore, she underwent abdominal hysterectomy. Four years after surgery, the patient is still disease free. Gestational trophoblastic diseases should be considered in every patient presenting abnormal uterine bleeding after delivery or pregnancy loss despite the associated symptoms being very unusual.
